Abstract

The Gilbert damping constant, present in the phenomenological Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, is calculated within a realistic tight-binding model, for arbitrary magnetization orientation in ferromagnetic systems. The dependence of the Gilbert damping constant on magnetization direction is investigated for bulk Fe, Co and Ni as well as Co films.
